Absolutely fantastic, and room for growth

Posted by Troy D on Nov 27th 2018

The Everdrive series of flashcarts is the best you can buy, hands down. Krikzz&#039;s ingenious use of an FPGA allows for new games to be supported all the time, and features to be added to the everdrive software. I&#039;ve had absolutely zero problems with SD card configuration, it&#039;s &quot;Drag&#039;n&#039;derp&quot; all the way through. While the OS may seem bare, it&#039;s incredibly well-thought-out and perfectly serves its purpose, with a few extra features added in. The only game I wanted to play that was incompatible is The Legend of Link, but that wasn&#039;t even a retail release and supporting it would increase the cost of the cart. A built-in .nsf player would be nice to utilize the extra sound chip emulation, but that&#039;s a really niche thing. This is an all-around fantastic product and Stone Age Gamer&#039;s presentation only serves to enhance it.

The Everdrive N8 is a great piece of hardware. I purchased my N8 a few months ago and had no issues...until it stopped working. I let krikzz know what was happening (via his website) and I sent it out for repair. I got it back shortly (2 weeks) after and everything is in working order. Krikzz makes a great product and the Deluxe Edition stone age sells is great!
